Welcome to Veritas Counseling!
My name is Christina Tisher and I’d like to thank you for visiting the Veritas website. I named this company “Veritas” because it means truth, and truth is so central to our lives. Whether we are in touch with our truth, or searching for it, we function as our best selves when we acknowledge it and grow from there.
One of the most striking observations of truth is that while it can be painful to face, when we resist (or push down) what is true, our bodies start speaking through various forms: anxiety, depression, angst, panic attacks, and illness, for example.
Sometimes we need a little help figuring out the truth, speaking it, or living it. My role as a counselor is to create a safe space to meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go.
There are points in our lives in which we all need someone to come alongside us during our journey, and that is the nature of life. When my clients choose me as the person to come alongside them, it is an honor that I hold sacred.
I work with adults (age 18 and older) experiencing:
Anxiety
Depression
Life transitions
Break-ups or divorce
The effects of trauma
How we work together
In our work together, you are the driver, I am the navigator. Counseling is a collaborative process and we work together toward the goals you set for yourself. If you do not know what your goals are, we can figure out what you would like to get out of counseling.
Depending on what you want and need, I draw from a range of approaches including Challenge and Support, Polyvagal Theory and self regulation techniques, Strength Based work, and Person Centered Counseling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is offered only if a client wants CBT and has learned self regulation strategies. Solution Focused Therapy is used when you would like to work on something specific, identify your goals, and generate a plan of action.
If you’re looking for a more focused starting point, I often work in these specialties:
Life Transitions
Life regularly throws us curve balls. Life transitions are sometimes foreseen and sometimes they are not. It is my role to help clients through these life transitions.
Counselor Support
Mental health counselors benefit from support for their own health and wellness. If you’re a counselor who is seeking support for your own life, Veritas may be the right choice for you.
Societal Issues
We often discuss how the state of the world and the country affects daily life. I am here to support you with whatever you’re facing.
